The whole sky lit up with lightning and our building shook with the thunder. 
The X like thing is the reinforcement in our glass door leading out to the lanai. 
I think this is to prevent break-ins and also to prevent the glass from shattering in case of an earthquake. 
I know, I know, you aren't supposed to stand close to the glass while lightning and thunder are going on for fear of electrocution, but it was so exciting to see the lightning rip through the sky!
Hi Kat,
ReplyDeleteBeing that we don't get those types of storms here, I can see how it would be exciting. I'd probably be standing right next to you watching it.

Finally! Maybe some rain to ease the heat eh?
ReplyDeleteWe had a big storm here last night too, I like staying up to watch the lightening.
ReplyDeletewow, fun!
ReplyDeleteIt was a little cooler in the morning, Rowena, but after that the humidity was back full force!

I know, I know...
ReplyDeleteand I would have been hiding under the bed!
Ohhh! Love the pics! I would have been standing in front of the glass, too. ;-)

Unfortunately you wouldn't be able to hide under our bed Carol because they are futon on the floor!
ReplyDeleteThanks Paz! :)
Take care you two.

That's quite funny, as there was a huuuuuge thunderstrom in Estonia on Wednesday night, too:)
ReplyDeleteThat is quite interesting, Pille!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, take care.
